>$100k at once, to proles, is the mental equivalent of $10 million. An unfathomable amount. And it's tied to a physical thing that they can work on with their hands.

That's huge money for a prole with no education. And they're not paying off student debt, either. If they save up, they can start buying cash and get better deals. In a good real estate market it's an awesome deal.

Quote from an old thread:

To get in the mind of a prole, you have to use imagery.

Imagine a pit that is so deep and so wide that no person would ever be able to reach the bottom, or navigate from side to side. The pit is filled, from depths below which anyone has ever comprehended, with dead and rotten bodies of proles from the past. Stacked on top of each other in the pit for miles and miles. Traveling up the pit, toward exposed sunlight, you eventually get to live people. The first few miles of live people are simply waiting to die from being suffocated or crushed. These are the proles of third world countries. It is a matter of days for this group.

Above them, standing on the shoulders of those waiting to die are still more that are at least trying to claw there way through the mass of humans stacked on top of one another. But the flesh is so dense, the result is people just pulling each other apart, one fingernail full of flesh at a time. This group represents the proles of poor America. Anyone lucky enough to navigate through this chaos is so hardened by the experience that they rarely ascend further as their thirst for revenge keeps them turning back down to kill those below them with their bare hands.

The group above, still smushed together, can see success above them. The pressure is still great on them but they can make out people living nice lives above them. Conceptually, they do not understand why these people have better stations in life, but one concept they do understand is people paying one another for a safe place to live. Some from this group escape the pit.

I had a friend who lived in a luxury high rise he couldn't afford and was always broke. He was always borrowing money and could never go out or do anything. I said all your money is tied up in rent. Why don't you just move somewhere shittier and you wouldn't be so hosed. He goes, "If I lived somewhere else, it wouldn't be luxury."

A lot of privileged morons in this thread.

Houses are literally the only thing a normal person is going to get a $500,000 loan to buy.

What other business do you want them to enter into? You think they were deciding between either flipping houses or starting their own Venture Capital fund?
